Wild encounters

Much like Dreepy in the GO Out event, Hatenna can be encountered in the wild during the Psychic Spectacular event, but only as a rare spawn. This means only lucky trainers would encounter it. Another way of putting it is that this critter won't be abundantly available in the wild, and you might need to spend a lot of time hunting it.

Items like Incenses and Lure Modules can make it easier to find Hatenna spawns in the wild, but the task will not be a walk in the park. In the wild, this creature can have a maximum of 974 CP.
